Departed - PvE Overworld - PvP all other worlds

Im all for a PvE overworld, With all other dimensions being PvP.

As for corpse. Fair game. The reason i say this is because the following.
- You can enchant Gear so you drop nothing in your body.
- It would be a nightmare on staff to police every pvp kill and body loot.
- YOU as a player are safe from pvp in the overworld, so if you die and dont got claim your stuff... its your fault, 99.9% of the time another player wont find your body if you die to a pve mob
- In the other Dimensions PvP at your own risk, meaning if i kill you, i want/need your stuff

 

YEeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

PVP FOR THE WIN
We should have :

• PVP full time ( all dimensions)
• Looting allowed
• Raiding not allowed

 

My opinion:

PVP full time ( all dimensions)
Looting allowed
Raiding not allowed

 

PvP full time in all dimension
looting allowed
raiding not allow

and
Noob question after everything happens tomorrow will the pack be added to the mym launcher since the ftb launcher hates me for some reason

 

Fleshing out the idea.

Overworld: no pvp, no raiding or griefing. Standard mym rules apply.

Everywhere else: pvp on all the time. looting of corpses allowed. raiding of unclaimed allowed. No griefing/raiding claimed areas.

This does bring up another point. Are claims allowed in other dims? My thoughts, as the pack requires you to proges through worlds, is Not to allow claims anywhere other then the overworld.

Just my 2 pennies.

 

What about looting corpses?

 

Looking for answer from slind. So I don't get in "trouble" lol

 

Then my previous statement stands as modified...

Overworld=standard MyM rules

Everywhere else = pvp, griefing, raiding, corpse looting, player traps, anything goes.

 

PvE overworld
All other dimensions PvP weekends or something like that

 

My opinion:

PVP full time ( all dimensions)
Looting allowed
Raiding allowed in all dimension except overworld

 

I am with booker and said the same thing in message #25 of the original post. The follow up argument about there are ways to bypass PVP are true but could be handled like any other rule violation on other mym servers. PVP deaths are in the log...if someone complains about a kill against the rules it could be handled with a temp ban/ban just like other infractions on the other servers.

Lack of plugins makes it tough. Personally one of the primary reasons I donated to tier 4 was to be able to set the PVP flag. Being forced to play PVP on a pack that I really am enjoying in a PVE fashion is not ideal when I was hoping the tier 4 was a way to put dollars down for my preference of playstyle.

Another option would be to just offer it both ways if it is possible resource wise. Many other mym servers have multiple servers and doesn't regrowth a UHC mode as an alternative? Splitting it would let the PVE folks be happy. The PVP folks would be happy too (well maybe since they won't have PVE folks to get easy kills against). Now that the vote is closer then perhaps this could be an alternative to satisfy both groups.

The problem I see with enabling PVP some days and not others is around raiding bases. If that also includes raiding then once someone finds your base they can just wait to hit your base. Not sure how any of that would work though with no plugins to track it/stop it in the first place.

 

A long time ago, I paid $120 to fund development of a MMO that never made it called Dark and Light. One of the cooler features was that you had to defend your fort for 1 real world hour once a week. You were able to schedule this time, so it was convenient to you. This made raiding fun, it was always known when you needed to have your guard up in your home, the rest of the time you were safe in your home. If we could have some sort of preset time that raiding was open, it would make defending towns interesting.

I dont think implementing something is possible without some custom plug in that probably doesn't exist.



Dark and Light and Wish were the best 2 MMO's I was able to play that never made it past alpha/beta. Both had some innovative things still not used in other games to date.

 

The people that want PvP and raiding of corpse in all dimensions.... are the same people that have been causing "grief" for other players in the overworld,

I feel if MyM doesnt make Overworld PvE... we will lose a lot of players to the other servers.
PvP in 18 dimensions and PvE in the over world is a good trade off for a 60/40 vote.
